When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they ...
A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...
Nearly 400 years ago Galileo performed the first recorded laboratory experiment, timing balls as they rolled down an inclined plane to test his theory of acceleration. Since that time, laboratory ...
Last year, in July, Reine Protacio’s experiments suddenly stopped working. Every scientist encounters baffling results from time to time; you chalk it up to error, repeat the experiment, and hope for ...
